Draw and cut out various-sized circles from paper, craft foam, or felt to make a bear's head. You can choose colors other than those suggested below:
2 Assemble the ears.
Glue the inner ears on top of the ears.
3 Glue the ears to the head.
Glue the pair of ears behind the biggest circle.
4 Glue the nose and muzzle.
Glue the medium-sized white circle at the bottom of the face to create the bear's muzzle. Glue the black nose on the upper section of the muzzle.
5 Glue the eyes.
Glue the pair of tiny black circles above the muzzle to create the bear's eyes.
6 Draw the mouth.
Finally, draw the bear's mouth with a black marker or crayon. As easy as that, you have just made a bear out of circles! See more crafting ideas in the section below.

Make a panda bear.
A panda bear does not need a muzzle. Instead, cut out 2 medium-sized black circles and glue these behind the eyes to make the panda's eye patches.
Create a body.
Create a body for the bear with more basic shapes. This purple teddy bear has an oval body and smaller oval limbs.
Make a frame.
Learn more shapes by framing the bear with squares and/or rectangles. Framing several bears can be a nice way of showcasing the children's finished bear crafts. If you've got lots of kids in your class, you can even make a bear quilt!
